I live in the suburbs, and I work predominantly out here too. Most of my projects are in the northern part of Houston.

One thing we don’t have much of in houses out here in The Woodlands are walls.

Most of them are open plan. They have high ceilings and lots of windows. And, time and time again, especially when couples are down-sizing, I find that homeowners have more art and wall decor than they do wall space.

Yes, hanging art over a door or window is perfectly acceptable. As a matter of fact, I love it.
